The Parish Profile (a summary of where we are now, our vision and our needs for the future) was created in 2008 as part of the process of appointing our new Rector. The Bishop of Reading was complimentary about the finished document and included an introduction to it.

Although we have now have our new Rector, a copy of the profile is still available for download here (7.24 MB).

Along with other members of Project Purley, John Chapman has collected much information on the history of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin.  This information is available at John's website, or via the History link in this section.  On occasions, John continues to present talks on the building's history.
